Committers are community members that have write access to the project’s repositories, i.e., they can modify the code, documentation, and website by themselves and also accept other contributions. There is no strict protocol for becoming a committer. Candidates for new committers are typically people that are active contributors and community members.

Becoming a Committer:

Consistent contributions over the past 6 months

Expressed understanding of Airflow Core or has displayed holistic understanding of a particular part and made contributions towards a more strategic goal
